Harry Conner speaks during a memorialization ceremony renaming an Army Reserve center in honor of a man he never met, the late Sgt. 1st Class Alwyn C. Cashe, on July 19 in Sanford, Fla. Cashe died from injuries sustained while rescuing fellow troops from a burning vehicle in Diyala, Iraq, in 2005. After reading the account of the hero's actions, Conner has made it his mission to champion the effort to get Cashe awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions that ultimately cost him his life. Recently, Conner rode his bicycle from Cashe's gravesite in Oviedo to the 9-11 Memorial in New York City in order to bring attention to the actions of Cashe.
